Dragons and Lore of EverQuest - Top Dragons in EQ & EQ2 - Episode 23 - The EverQuest Show

[@EverQuestShow]

Thanks for watching! So where's your Top Ten list? Post below to let us know your favorited dragons in EQ or EQ2!

[@dougcronkhite2113]

Some of the most fun I had working on EQ was creating my re-imagining of ToV.. Creating the new dragon fights that had their roots in the original was so much awesome. I spent SO MUCH TIME playing in ToV that when Holly asked what I'd want to do as a passion project, ToV was an easy choice. Also Allen Bond is RIDICULOUSLY talented.. Solid list on the dragons. Naggy is absolutely #1.

[@EverQuestShow]

Thanks Doug! Don't suppose you'd be interested in being on the show?!?! =)

[@dougcronkhite2113]

@@EverQuestShow Sure. Would love to.

[@teddykayy]

Damn, this quality of this show is getting so high that it actually is reaching what a great game like EQ deserves all on its own. I hope this serves as an inspiration for other creators!

10) Naggy, 9) Vox, 8) Trakanon, 7) Talendor, 6) Yar'Lir, 5) Dozekar, 4) Vulak, 3) Wuoshi, 2) Vishimtar, 1) Kerafyrm (Both Versions!!!!!) This is entirely based off of nostalgia, and to be honest I wanted to base it off loot. But, to do that would mean original Sleeper wouldn't even be included on the list and we definitely can't skip him! AMAZING episode. Thank you so much for the content!

[@brianmurphy6480]

Hey, VarietyVoid! Saw your post here just as I started this video and thought I'd say hi. On my way over to your Saturday God-killing stream after I'm done here. Love your videos! 😎👍

[@varietyvoid]

@@brianmurphy6480 thank you!

[@arkhos599]

Nagafen and Vox will always be my 1 and 2, forever, for purely selfish sentimental reasons. :) Great stuff! Great memories!

[@DarkGnome1]

Commenting because I want you and this channel to thrive!

[@RE-sc9bz]

Man... some of those eq2 dragons are nothing short of freaking majestic.

[@branmikefrye]

I've never played everquest but I've been watching all of the episodes for this show. It's well-produced all around. Interesting even for strangers. Was a poor kid when everquest was big, spent my time in games like tibia, runescape and dransik. So I have a nostalgia for those early years of MMORPGs. And I guess that extends some nostalgia even for this game I've never played. Kind of like Banjo Kazooie -- never played it, but have a nostalgia for it because I was into similar games of that time.

[@Knel467]

All the lore bits in this video are a real treat :)

[@mikemontgomery6977]

One of my favorites was always the Dracoliche in Plane of Fear! This show is incredible, just discovered and can't wait to watch every episode. Thanks for keeping the memories alive!

[@Xeknu]

Love the show! Eq 1. Veeshan -best deity also going to void and see her was just awesome. 2. Lady Vox - 3. Sleeper - the mythos alone is awesome. congratulations to rallos zek server. 4.Trakanon - legend 5 Naggy - cloak of flames 6 Zlandicar - his heart was just legendary items. 7 Jaled'Dar - the skeleton in Field of Bone was so awe-inspiring 8. Wushi - Infamous troll 9. Phara Dar - awesome design. 10. Faydedar for my Druid epic.

[@allenbond6024]

Great video! Really liked the editing and clips on Veksar. That's the way I imagined it while making Veksar!

[@EverQuestShow]

Hi Allen! Thank you for responding! And so glad I finally got to use that bit of the interview. Your audio (and Alan's as well) were unfortunate tragedies of that set of interviews at Daybreak and I wasn't able to use them as much (A real shame since some of the information was fantastic). But I was able to salvage this part of the interview and it fit well here. Hope you're doing well and thank you for being a part of the show!

[@afkghost9758]

I'll never forget making my first barbarian and leveling until I could go into Permafrost Keep. I remember getting closer and closer to the Ice Giants and then hearing Lady Vox's dragon roar - IN A VIDEO GAME!! (I was still in grade school mind you at the time). Anyways, it was a mix of excitement and fear. What a great video and thank you for sparking my memory on these old adventures.

[@magnamundian]

Another great video. I kinda agree with some of the premier chatters talking about how EQ3 could be a prequel. Far more depth and rich content that could be created based on EQ lore than trying to look ahead and end up making something that feels like a big "expansion pack".

[@sweetyd]

Best video you have ever made. Loved it!

[@coachleif]

The sleeper is still a concept in MMOs that blows my mind to this day, it's easily the most memorable piece of EQ lore I can think of. We are the player are tricked into waking him up, and are essentially used as pawns in the war between the Dragons, with it culminating in the rampage across Velious. I can't think of any moment in MMO history that had as much implication on the game moving forward as the Sleeper, truly a unique moment in MMO history, and one I wish we could get more of.

[@ByronC900]

The fact that he was only ever KILLED on the one server where players weren't pushed to work together, but were granted more freedom... a PvP server. Insane lore!

[@Noxmare]

Very solid write-up!! Thank you for your efforts Fading!!

[@iksarguards]

I think the original dragon models through Kunark and into Velious were really imaginative, unique and distinct. Later more "refined" remodels made everything look very standardized and generic. That remodel of the Kunark sea-dragon went from being some crazy deep-sea eel with two stumpy feet to some very tired looking thing I'd definitly see in Skyrim's Dragonborn DLC.

[@DD-ge6ef]

I am an agnarr server nerd soooo > I mostly agree with this list. Great video, really liked the shots you got in there!

[@oldrin1876]

I love your show! Thank you for all that you do to keep interest alive in this universe!

[@RijackiTorment]

Xygoz in EQ2 is the most adorable. I absolutely loved that raid.

[@space.tel-e-grams]

Nagafen will always be my first love, the first dragon I ever fought. I always called she who lives in the Wakening Lands "Woosh*t" because that's what I said every time I ported in there and found out the hard way that she was up. I was fortunate enough to take part in waking the sleeper on 3 different servers. Kerafyrm is the top of my list just because of the whole zone-hop-rampage-and-destroy mechanic that happened after. Just wish there was a way to reset it so everyone could experience that. Honorable mention to dracoliche and Jaled Dar's shade because they look so dang cool.

[@HectorYague]

Trakanon has a soft spot in my heart. Not only the amazing lore around his war vs Venril Sathir, but also his cavernous lair down at the very depths of what is probably the franchise's all time best zone (Old Sebilis). To say nothing of that nasty AoE!!! Back in the Kunark era, the capability of killing Trakanon is what earned a guild the "uber" label.

[@AsheCraftingCorner]

even to this day..I still love the lore of Kerafrym,a dragon so ungodly powerfull,it needs to be locked away for fear of destroying everything

[@Trentirl]

Great work on the video! I don't know about everyone else, but it's always fun to check out what kind of new EQ paraphernalia Fading has in the background.

[@EverQuestShow]

Some of it is Non-Official stuff. The dragon and a few other things were just standard items for flavor. But most of it I try and keep to EQ official stuff!

[@ttobeyyt]

Awesome video again Fading!

[@novyxl9672]

Always a good day when the eq show pops a new episode. 🎉🎉🎉

[@Azusis]

Great episode, thank you! Would love more lore focused episodes. Cheers

this content is awesome. everquest never got an love on you tube this is just what it needs.

Best channel on youtube

[@sandcasterofveeshan366]

A lot of my main's history there. Kills in a couple raid guilds, mainly Cestus Dei. I had the kill shot on Quarm with Cestus Dei. At the head of them all, is Veeshan (My original server)

[@MegaZooch]

Contest on who's collection is the best! I always see cool goodies in the background of your videos. I love your wizzy spire in the background for example.

[@biznachos1]

This is some great lore! Thank you :)

[@leedunning1825]

I remember living in terror of Wuoshi. Arriving in Awakening Lands always felt like playing Russian Roulette. As always, a big thank you for keeping the nostalgia alive with this channel. And a big shout out to Yavete! Totally agree with her number one choice.

[@KingDirtyThunderblade-hi4yf]

I know you don't monetize this, but I think it's time to get a couple of backs back for doing all of this work.

[@brianhealsyou2080]

best channel EVER! (pun intended) thanks for keeping the love of EQ going strong

[@RE-sc9bz]

Eqoa Nagafen was a sick fight... he had this debuff against fire resist and HP... would put you slightly above 4k HP as a tank after debuff, and he had a random melee proc that hit for a flat 4k. So so fun... man i miss that game SO BAD.

[@erikboman6569]

Your videos are fantastic, thank you so much for making them! I would probably have put Kerafyrm as number one but I can definitely see Naggy as the top.

[@michaeldarius8694]

Magus Imperialis Magicus was the core guild that defeated the sleeper, on a pvp server no less!

[@OptimusGnarkill]

Just found this channel and man I am so ready for this nostalgia trip. Might have to fire up Project 1999 again soon…also when is that new MMO from the original EQ creators releasing? I remember it being hyped a few years ago when CohhCarnage streamed it, but they’ve gone silent since then it seems like. It looked great from what I saw…hope it is still going strong.

[@olsonjonathan]

Well done, I like all the lore!

[@kodydanos4804]

Another great video! you the man fading :D

[@russmacc316]

They should really make an EQ TV show

[@tipoytm]

keep it coming sir!

[@LosianTheDrake]

I thought Kerafrym was the offspring of Vox and Naggy, and that's also why each was kinda outcast and all? I may be misremembering though!

[@roguemiki9218]

Naggy and vox wanted to mate and recreate another prismatic dragon, dozekar the cursed is listed as kerafyrms father and his mother hasn't been named

[@Mester-akke]

Back when I played it was told that Kerafyrm was the offspring of Vox and Naggy. I do not recall Phara Dar summoning the other dragons, Vulak'Aerr did however

[@PingWhisper]

dont even play everquest but these videos are really good..

[@Alexander-ix2jp]

Hello world!

[@jizomeovonsteelwind]

Siliskor in EQOA is still my favorite dragon of all time.

[@Dan-codes]

My first Vox raid in original was brutal, Nagafen was much easier, I'll never forget those. I stopped at PoP, so these newer dragons are cool to see.

[@adventurewithkaitak7311]

Nagafen. Best ever.

[@TheodwynRiddermark]

I never saw most of these places, even in 25 years.

[@Merknilash]

Great episode and great production values Nice job Sounds like a 60 minutes piece (before 60 minutes became regime propaganda)

[@j-sin3344]

Ex-Hell-Entay!!! Moo-Cho-Goose-Tow!!! Sorry, hehe Love your channel. Also, love the Teek server. First TLP ever and hving started in 98 this is nealry perfect compated to my OG exp. Anyone that loved the 99 - 05 or so, check out Teek. EQ actually has a Q at times...

[@deaconjasonaiello6128]

As long as "Nagafen is #1, nothing else matters. Lol.

[@internetgas2020]

Dude, I have no clue who does your research or where you get your EQ lire from but Kerafyrm’s parents are not unknown. Don’t forget EQ 2 timeline hadn’t split by that time so his Parents are Naggy & Vox

@@internetgas2020 that is not correct. It is a common misconception, but they are not the parents
